Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
May is Asian and Pacific Heritage Month celebrating the contributions of Asian And Pacific Islanders to our culture and our lives. Today's Meditation is a poem by Craig Santos Perez, an indigenous Pacific Islander poet, "Love in a time of Covid 19." The poet says it was inspired by Pablo Neruda's "Love Sonnet XVII." We also salute those who are celebrating Cinco de Mayo!

Today's Meditation is a reflection by Joyce Rupp on "The Whoosh Prayer."
We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.

Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
You may have heard me (Ron) talking about Catherine of Siena as one of my heroines. Today is her feastday and Today's Meditation features her and her sayings. One of the reasons I admire her is that she walked all the way from Siena, Italy to Avignon, France to convince the Pope that he needed to go back to Rome.

Dear Friends,

Today's Meditation comes from my (Ron) sharing with a friend my image of giving God delight by rocking together in rocking chairs or walking together teased out in the meditation below. The meditation reminds me of Micah 6:8: "one thing only is required: do justice,love goodness and walk humbly with your God." The friend suggested the caption of "God in the other rocking chair."
